Join us for an inspiring evening at The Junction in Didcot to learn more about an exciting new business support programme tailored for social impact businesses and organisations in South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse.
This programme is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund through South and Vale District Councils. This funding aims to enhance life chances by investing in communities, supporting local businesses and fostering skills development. OSEP has partnered with Co-operative Futures, Aspire Oxfordshire, Makespace, SOFEA, Soha Housing Association, and African Families in the UK to offer six months of targeted support for social impact businesses. This initiative will promote a healthy, vibrant community, reducing social isolation.
During this event, you’ll hear from the partner organisations about the programme's benefits, resources and tailored support available. It’s also a perfect chance to connect with other business owners, share news and explore collaborative opportunities.
Who is this event for?
This event is for local early-stage, purpose-led businesses and social impact organisations in South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse, community groups interested in the programme's benefits, and anyone with a business idea looking to make a positive impact. Whether you’re seeking start-up support, advice, or collaboration, this event has something for you.
Join us as we work to foster a brighter, more connected future for our communities.
Food and drinks will be provided by Planted Plates.
